AUSTRALIANS CONCLUDE TOUR

N. SCOTLAND OVERWHELMED VILLAGE GREEN CRICKET [BY CABLE—PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] (Recd. September 15, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, September 14. In the last match of the tour, the Australians defeated North Scotland, at Forres by an innings and 20 runs. It was a happy day’s cricket of the village green standard. The umpires wore plus fours. Seventy minutes sufficed to dismiss North Scotland for the. lowest score against the Australians of the tour. The batsmen were extremely nervous, despite the fact that none of the bowlers were trying very hard. The whole affair was quite absurd from the cricket point of view. The Australians opened tail first. After O’Reilly had hit four sixers, Kemp dismissed McCabe and Bradman with successive balls. The innings was carefree, and lasted only 85 minutes. When Scotland batted a second time, McCabe kept wickets instead, of Barnett, who opened the bowling, but the Scotsmen fared little better. Scores:
